First of all, Keyboards here are very different. Ys and Zs are switched. Dashes, slashes, question marks, apostrophes, and Quotation marks, etc. are moved, so please forgive my mistakes. Also, remember that these are in backwards order, so read ones below as well.

Today I:
-lucked out and found more kids getting a ride so I could too since the phone doesn't work.
-sat around, played the piano, talked to Manuel, Felix, Melissa, and Professor Von Schmidt, and played pool.
-shared part of the gospel with Manuel (he majored in Evangelical Theory - a good place to start). He wanted to know about what happens after death.
-ate German pizza twice - they are thin-crusted and not pre-cut.
-looked at the ocean.
-woke up at six, then again at 12.
-spoke more German, asked a lot of questions.
-told Professor Von Schmidt he could buy my music and put my name on the closing party program for playing the piano.
-decided to go canoeing on Monday with Melissa.
-got to my host family's house
-got a nice room with a closet, bathroom, big bed, feather pad, desk, TV, exercise bike, radio, and towels. They foudn me an alarm clock. I got my adapter to fit - it just needed to be pushed out further. My hostsister is cool. She has a Golf TDI. Her dad is in Hannover for work, he comes home on weekends. They both speak English beautifully and are perfectly willing to help me with Deutsch. They are right in the country - with fields and horses and cows in their backyard, behind the amazing garden. The sunset was beautiful, and the table is in a glass room. Wow.
-used my host family's computer to check my email and write emails and discovered that the letter y is used a lot more than I thought. I couldn't figure out the button that symbolizes "at" in an email address. It is under the Q. The ustudents email wouldn't send, (it does now), and I had to change the password. My blog wouldn't come up, but here in the school computer lab, it does!
-unpacked.
